Description

Director Leya Hale Attending

Henry Boucha was a legendary hockey player from Warroad, MN and member of the Ojibwe Nation, playing in the NHL, for the Minnesota North Stars and Detroit Red Wings, and on the 1972 USA Olympic hockey team before he was assaulted on the ice, resulting in a debilitating eye injury and a controversial court case. Temporarily lost without his hockey career, he was forced to start again and find his true self off the ice.

The Electric Indian is a co-production of Twin Cities PBS and Vision Maker Media, with funding provided by the Minnesota Legacy Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and Manitou Foundation.
